picture perfect... or not

[dr4b]

Okay, I need a second opinion.

Recently I've been getting VERY frustrated at the way people seem to be taking my picture archives for granted, as if it's just an obvious thing that I'll go to events and snap lots of pictures and spend a lot of time resizing/editing/captioning/etc them and put them up on dr4b.org for everyone to do whatever they want with them.

Well, I'm getting sick of that, to be honest. Yes, I might just be having a really bad day (I forgot my keys, I'm stressed over this trip, I need to do my taxes still, I spent last night resizing pictures instead of packing, etc), but considering I seem to keep revisiting this theme, maybe it's time to do something about it.

So I basically nuked my entire pictures directory an hour or two ago. Whee!

The question is, "now what?" Your input is greatly appreciated:

Also feel free to post any advice. Whee.

P.S. Or, something you could do is to put them up as miniscule thumbnails and if people want particular ones, they could ask you for a full size. That way they'd be too small for them to ravage.

I totally understand your frustrations though. I absolutely hate having periphrials sometimes (printer, scanner, camera). I've managed to fend people away, only by having them not work for me either. ~.~
